I am a product of not only race and circumstances, but of a beautiful plan God has for my life. Both the good and bad in the past allows me to be and do so much more! I wish I were able to write well as I've always wanted to record what I know of my family's history as well as my own. I think that's why I love photography so much. What I can't express in words I capture in an image. Someday I'm going to read your dad's book!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642885503201624064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628345867981438635.post-59049918121676370882010-03-02T14:55:47.108-08:002010-03-02T14:55:47.108-08:00OH BIANCA, I was JUST there in San Miguel.

It show us who we are and eventually where to go to or what we better do not. <br />We are a old german family. My cousin went back in time to the year 1570 to found out who we are. But then he stopped, 'cause he found a Riese who was hanged...and he can't find out why, so my story stopped there, who knows for what it was good for....

I have the understanding and compassion for others that have walked the same walk.<br /><br />This post reminded me of my girls that we adopted from Ghana. We went to their country. We traveled 12 hours across country (on SCARY roads) to visit their village. We spent 6 weeks showing them their own country. And, I took pictures ... LOTS of pictures. I came home and the very next month I put together a 75 page scrapbook of our time together in Africa. My girls need to remember where they came from. My husband and I needed to know where they came from. We learned so much that we could NEVER have learned through reading books or listening to their stories. No ... we had to go there, to experience it ourselves.<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />Mama D.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628345867981438635.post-31972676217004578832010-03-02T09:11:29.577-08:002010-03-02T09:11:29.577-08:00@Not-So-Anonymous: 1.

I'm grew up in a Christian home without much money but with much love!<br />I live my life now appreciative of everything I have, if anything I feel guilty when people give gifts because I feel undeserving. I've never known a "wealthy" life. <br />And now I have my own family that is filled with much love.Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060739942238807835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628345867981438635.post-64098745761063516212010-03-02T09:00:37.572-08:002010-03-02T09:00:37.572-08:00Thanks B.

I have had the opportunity to go through part of my family history over the last year and found out that some family members on my mom's side of our family were missionaries, pastors and people somehow, someway involved in ministry. I'm glad you got to experience this with your dad! <br />Its a beautiful thing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628345867981438635.post-39000279069497013992010-03-02T08:52:17.406-08:002010-03-02T08:52:17.406-08:00thats beautiful bi that first you went to your mom...thats beautiful bi that first you went to your mom's home town and now your dad's!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628345867981438635.post-54394089051776779082010-03-02T08:35:33.169-08:002010-03-02T08:35:33.169-08:00@Melinda: Are you JEWISH???

The Passover meal was designed for the child to ask "Why is this night different?" They whole meal was designed so they would learn about where they came from.
